The Segways are coming back to life at the Springfield Police Department with some new batteries purchased for the two-wheeled electric vehicles.
The two Segways were purchases several years ago with drug-forfeiture money and have been out of commission for months because the original rechargeable batteries had been fully drained.
Police Chief Robert Williams said at a recent city council meeting that officers will get training in the next few weeks to get the vehicles back patrolling city sidewalks.
